Hi, my name is Eliza (she/her/siya).

 

I am a Master’s-level therapist in full-time private practice and an LCSW-S (Licensed Clinical Social Worker - Supervisor) in Texas. I am trained as a NARM Master Therapist, I serve on the Board of Directors for a Filipino mental health nonprofit, Kasamahan, and locally, I participate in AFSSA's counseling program for Asian Americans facing financial hardship and domestic violence. Most recently, I joined a group focused on providing Somatic Ecotherapy which I hope to share more about in the near future.​

​

​Before opening my private practice, Mindfulscape in 2021, I worked in a variety of settings such as group private practice, outpatient clinics, psychiatric hospitals, and with the local court system. I provided individual and group therapy, and consultation within multidisciplinary teams.

​

I have supported clients to address more mental health related challenges than I can list yet I consider my specialties as Complex PTSD, ADHD, and challenges between culture and identity based on my training and my earned clinical and lived experiences. I find both are often intertwined with and can underly episodes of anxiety and depression, difficulty with managing emotions, self-esteem, and relationships, and struggles with coping mechanisms (such as disordered eating, substance abuse, and media overconsumption) to where they impact the ability to maintain chosen responsibilities.

​

For personal context, I am a first generation immigrant and identify as a person of color, and have familiarity with life in different cultures and geographical locations due to my family of origin and family by marriage.

​

Although it doesn't paint the entire picture, I resonate with the INFP-A personality in my love for creativity and authenticity, sensitivity to others, and appreciation of nature.
